I've read a lot of marketing books in my years as a small business owner, author and speaker, but few can stand up to Do It! Marketing when it comes to offering instantly actionable, practical ideas that really do work and can impact your business in a BIG way.
This book isn't a stuffy read you reluctantly trudge through because you should. Instead, you'll find this a practical blueprint for all things you need to do to market your business a hard to put down kick in the pants.
Newman covers a lot of ground from getting referrals to your social media presence, selling and how you talk to customers and prospects. My mind was whirling from page 2 on with ways to do things better and yours will be, too. My copy is dog earned and covered in notes to pass along to my team and implement ... full review(280) -

Price: $19.95 "This book is an asset to our company!" - By OC Parrothead (So Cal, USA)
I am a small business owner struggling to make ends meet during this difficult time in our economy. I purchased this book with the hope that it would shed some light on new ways we could market our company to generate more business, and it delivered! We used several of Mr. Atkins suggestions and almost immediately saw an increase in exposure to our website, which generated more calls, and eventually more business. I highly recommend this book to any company looking for ways to turn a profit in a challenging economy.(11) -

"Book is full of advice on a wide range of ..." - By Matthew
Book is full of advice on a wide range of issues that small business owners face - types of incorporation, tax deductions, employees, contractors, marketing, and more. I found the advice to be very specific and detailed, unlike many resources available on these topics - full of specific cases, numbers, and more details. He also covers marketing and the many causes (unbillable time) one makes before one "makes" it (a sale). Fraim's content has a way of being specific and general. You'll probably get something out of reading this and then find that you have more questions related to your own situation. Think you'd get something out of this book. To answer that question, I'd take a joke out of his book, "It depends."
**I received this free/at a discount.(127) -

List Price: $21.95 Price: $12.29 You Save: $9.66 (44%) "Nick Westergaard does an excellent job taking important" - By RobTheY
Nick Westergaard does an excellent job taking important, and sometimes complex, marketing concepts and giving marketers of all sizes advice to put into action. There are plenty of marketing books to choose from. While so many of them talk about the same topics, Get Scrappy presents some of these and other strategies for success. If you buy this book (and you should), expect tons of words on a page. I would loved to have seen some visuals to break up the copy but otherwise, I recommend this book to every digital marketer.(45) -

List Price: $29.99 Price: $12.22 You Save: $17.77 (59%) "Wealth of Resources" - By Holly
Small business owners are experts at providing a product or service, but that doesn't mean they are experts at * marketing * their businesses. As a member of a co-working organization, and as a social media marketer, I meet small- to mid-size business owners and solopreneurs on a regular basis who are confused by all of the choices available to them to market their businesses. They are intimidated and overwhelmed by the sheer volume of information, and the time and monetary costs associated with getting new customers.
In her book, Small Business Marketing Kit for Dummies, Barbara Findlay Schenck has done a great job of laying out the different marketing options available to small business owners in a simple, clear manner.
Because of the breadth of information included, I would highly recommend this book to people who are considering opening a business, people in startups, business owners who ... full review(37) -

Duct Tape Marketing Revised and Updated: The World's Most Practical Small Business Marketing Guideby John Jantsch- In Stock.
List Price: $16.99 Price: $9.85 You Save: $7.14 (42%) "It's a good read. Here's more advice." - By Amazon Customer
Here's something I thought up that worked amazing for me.
1. Start a blog
2. Call up potential businesses you want to do business with. Tell them you're fascinated by what they do and you want to interview the owner and write an article on your blog about them. Flatter them. Tell the truth, just focus on the positives.
3. During the interview the owner will inevitably ask what you do.
4. Sell yourself / service to them.
5. Write the blog. Put links to their site. They will inevitably put a link on their site to your site. Capitalize on relevant searches. SEO at it's finest.
Both parties win. I only needed to meet with three business owners before I had enough business to work full time.
See, don't be afraid to give away real secrets. Vote up if you appreciate the insight.

Book Yourself Solid: The Fastest, Easiest, and Most Reliable System for Getting More Clients Than You Can Handle Even if You Hate Marketing and Sellingby Michael Port- In Stock.
List Price: $18.95 Price: $13.08 You Save: $5.87 (31%) "For the visual learners out there..." - By Charles V. Doublet (Los Angeles, CA)
Let me begin with a disclaimer, I am a recently certified Book Yourself Solid coach, so of course my review would be biased on some level. With that being said, I feel that this is an excellent resource for anyone in marketing & sales.
I first found out about BYS a year ago, as I had been looking for a system that would help my wife to build her healing practice, BYS was the first complete system that my wife and I could embrace as a way to market her services with integrity and enthusiasm, so much so that we both soon enrolled in Michael's training program (how's that for an upsell testimonial?)
I have since spoken with many people who have also bought Michael's first and second edition of his BYS book, but for whatever reason and not been able to take advantage of the excellent information ... full review(655) -

"Amazing book on small business marketing!" - By Sheeba Holmes
What an incredibly refreshing book on marketing! I love how it breaks down exactly how the three key numbers to grow should look. And then each step tells you how to increase them. I've taken the advice to work out my conversion %, and my prospects number (had to be average guess here) and my value per customer, including lifetime value. And already the tips I'm putting into action are making a difference. The logical steps to discovering my USP and articulating it were powerful too. It's a terrific book, I'm going to send a copy to all my business owner friends.(6) -

"Marketing Made Easy In Five Minutes" - By Brenda From Maryland
This book packed a lot of information in 6 pages and I was able to read it in 5 minutes. It helped me to understand marketing, so that I could understand why those were pushing (upselling) their products. If you have to push to sell a product or products, you're doing it wrong. Pushing to sell your product(s), scares your potential market away. One needs to have faith in their market, ensuring their product(s) fills a need. If it fills a need, the product(s) will sell.(235) -

If you are in business, this book will remind you of items that many tend to overlook, or just forget. For a newbie, this is a good outline for thought provoking ideas for anyone starting a business. Yes, there are many items that are not covered, but well done on those that are. Good Read!!(19)
